first off, I have to apologize for my absence in the past few weeks...a lot has happened since my last, oh-so-depressing post.
My sister came to visit us from Switzerland, which is my main excuse for not posting lately. I had taken a week off of work to spend as much time with her as possible. We had gone to Toronto to visit (and discover!) some relatives that we've recently discovered. It's always fun to find family you didn't know of.
Last weekend, my boyfriend and I took a mini-trip to Quebec to spend a night at the Ice Hotel - it was his birthday gift. It was truly an unique experience. The hotel itself is made completely of ice and snow and kept at a subzero temperature of around -5 Celsius. Not too cold as long as you're dressed appropriately.
It was absolutely beautiful - I'll let you be the judge:
They had an ice bar - ice chairs - ice glass - ice columns...ice everywhere.
The fireplace you see to my left doesn't emit any heat, and is purely decorative...there was a bonfire outside though. =)
Our beautiful suite. No, we did not sleep directly on ice, no we did not sleep unequipped. It was actually a memory foam mattress, which literally made me want to invest in one asap. See those two huge bags on the bed? They're sleeping bags made for cold weather up to -23 Celcius. The concept is simple enough. There are outdoor Jacuzzis and saunas for us to warm up our bodies properly right before bedtime. You go, heat yourself up (believe me, when you get out, you could walk around naked and not be cold), and then hop into those sleeping bags.
The bags are meant to KEEP you warm. So all the heat you accumulated prior will be released into the sleeping and be kept there overnight so you can sleep soundly without getting hypothermia.
Coloured denims for the win!
Cheers! and I hope you all have a great week!
it seems you are doing better and this trip was much deserved :D Looks like you had a lot of fun and what a sweet bf!
